CoVid May Spread Via Feces

from Dr. Howard Smith OnCall · host Howard G. Smith MD, AM

  Vidcast:  https://youtu.be/-WYaCiYoGSY   Here’s yet another reason to wash your hands more obsessively after using any toilet.  Fifty-three percent of CoVid positive hospitalized Chinese patients also had viral RNA in their stool as well as in their nasal and oropharyngeal samples.   CoVid in the gastrointestinal tract was not age-dependent as evidence of virus was found in subjects from 10 months through 78 years of age.  The virus also tends to linger in longer in the GI tract than in the respiratory system and 23% of patients still had positive stool samples when their nasal and oral samples turned negative.   CoVid is everywhere in population-dense cities.
